20 Years of Artivism
Throughout our history, Hip Hop Caucus has mobilized 1 million young BIPOC voters across nine election cycles, produced HOME (Heal Our Mother Earth) – the first climate album to move over 60,000 people to action in support of the Clean Power Plan in 2014, and led the first protest in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and continually partnered with local organizations for annual commemorations. Our community has taken over 10 million actions on climate justice, while raising and distributing $100,000 in direct relief to families affected by natural disasters like Hurricane Ida. Our breadth of accomplishments reflect our principled approach to organizing, advocacy, and campaigning.
Our Philosophy
We have benefitted from the work and sacrifice of our ancestors. Our advocacy is rooted in three principles.
Our collective call for liberation will create a rhythm that reverberates around the world.
We envision a future where everyone gets the mic.
We are radically hopeful for future generations.
Our Mission & Vision
Our mission is to use the power of our cultural expression to empower communities who are first and worst impacted by injustice. Our vision is racial justice, healthy communities, and a healthy planet.
